Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plate-type hinge device for a display for a rotation type mobile phone comprising main and sub-display devices.
  • mobile communication terminals refer to mobile phones or handheld devices used for mobile wireless communications.
  • the mobile communication terminals are classified into a bar type, a flip type and a folder type according to their construction.
  • a bar-type mobile terminal has a bar-shaped single housing.
  • a flip-type mobile terminal has a bar-shaped housing and a flip rotatably connected to the housing by a hinge.
  • a folder-type mobile terminal has a bar-shaped housing and a folder rotatably connected to the housing by a hinge.
  • the rotation type has a pair of facing housings, one of which is rotatable on the other housing.
  • the slide type has a pair of housings, one of which slides in relation to the other housing in a longitudinal direction to open or close the terminal.
  • Such diverse types of mobile communication terminals are easily understandable by those skilled in the relevant art.
  • Mobile communication terminals with small and light designs have gained popularity for their improved portability. These small and light terminals are more convenient during a voice call or video-conference.
  • a conventional mobile phone in display rotation type comprises a main housing 10 with a first hinge axis A1, a folder 20 and a connection member 30.
  • the main housing 10 is provided with a plurality of key buttons 11 and a microphone 12.
